Add direct cost related to treatment and purchase of raw materials in bulk

Hi everyone, 
 
I need to understand how to add all costs related to a product. In this case we are talking about profiles (aluminum square bars). 
 
1) Cost related to the raw material you buy in bulk. For simplicity let's say I bought 10kg at the price of €1/kg so total €10.
2) The pallet of profiles are shipped to a company that processes them and does the specific cutting and machining. Let's say that with this quantity we can make 20 pcs and each profile weighs 500g (20x500=10000g = 10kg) . Let's say that to make this profile machining cost is €5
3) Finally the cut and processed profiles go to another company that does the treatment. This treatment costs us €1/kg.
So the product that has been processed whose relative weight is 500g, comes to cost us €0.5 each. 
So the unit cost should be the sum of these operations then:
 
1) Since each profile weighs 500g and we have produced 20 pcs the unit cost of each profile will be €0.5. 
2) The cost of processing is €5
3) The cost of processing is €0.5.
So total cost is €6
 
How do I enter all these costs in the cost section in the item database? 
I hope I have been clear. 
 
Thank you in advance!

    Raw Material Cost:
    Navigate to the Item Card for your aluminum square bar. Go to the Costing section. Enter the Direct Unit Cost for the raw material (e.g., €1/kg).
    Machining Cost:
    Create a Routing for the item if you haven't already. Add an Operation for machining. Set the Unit Cost for the machining operation (e.g., €5 for processing 20 pcs).
    Treatment Cost:
    Add another operation in the same routing for the treatment process. Set the Unit Cost for the treatment operation (e.g., €1/kg).
